This resource turns free fall and air resistance into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 6-8 physics, covering the same idea from three different angles.
Students will answer questions such as "Why do astronauts appear to float in space?", "What happens to the acceleration of an object as it falls through the atmosphere?", and "When dropping a bowling ball and a feather in air, why does the bowling ball hit the ground first?"
Each worksheet reviews the same core ideas from a different angle. Use them across a week or unit so students see the material three times without it ever feeling repetitive.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned physics unit. The unit also covers Gravity Basics, Earth and Moon Gravity, Modeling Orbits, Mass and Distance Effects, Weight and Mass, and Gravity in Space Travel, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 physics classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-PS2-4.
